Halo 3 beta: unlock custom games

Bungie may or may not be planning on including these until the official release, but we think you deserve them now

That's right, it's great news for the people who are bored with the default matchmaking for the Halo 3 beta (bored? really?). Although who knows how long it will last, beta players have discovered a way to bypass the limitations on custom games currently imposed and get a bigger taste of the options that will be available for the final version of Halo 3. That, or Bungie has ingeniously and laboriously hidden false game date inside the beta code that can only be unlocked through an arbitrary and complex sequence of coordinated events to%26hellip; err, mess with beta players.

This newly discovered glitch in the game grants testers access to more vehicles, such as the Wraith and Banshee and new weapons, like the pistol and the sword (yes, it's going to be in the game). Once accessed, you'll notice the list of custom gameplay modes has been greatly expanded from Halo 2.Take a look at the video below to see the unlocked menu.
